Having spent most of the afternoon dozing, I'm ready for a long night of stargazing.
With my head pointed up, I stand at the peek of Loess' largest hill, a rocky outcropping near the southern border. In the distance, the glowing light of Tephra's magma is just beginning to be visible on the dusky horizon. It's a bit early, I decide, and turn my blue-grey gaze back to the earth.
There's movement not too far away, and I hear the murmur of voices carrying across open land. Someone has arrived, newcomers perhaps. I should go and meet them, I know, but by the time I do they have already been accosted by two others. Imperial I know by sight, but it is Castile that I settle beside, standing shoulder-to-shoulder after having ascertained from his body language that these strangers are not a threat.
I trust him, and with no sign of immediate danger I step a bit closer. I've managed to catch the introduction, and I wait for an appropriate lull in the conversation before adding: "I'm Lepis."
